Definitions

  • the binary frequency or phase encoding of a received signal is detected by comparing it to a binary reference code.
  • a pulse compressor which may include a correlator that correlates the series of bits of the demodulated received signal with the series of bits of the reference code. Since the demodulated received signal varies in amplitude as well as phase, a better correlation could be obtained by also taking into account the amplitude of each segment of small duration, of the received signal.
  • no high speed correlators for real time correlation are available, which can make such a comparison, and it had been thought that the cost of designing and constructing a custom integrated circuit or the like to make such an amplitude-dependent correlation would be prohibitive.
  • a pulse compressor which could take into account the amplitude as well as the phase of each of numerous segments of a received signal when correlating it with a reference code, using only commonly available (“off-the-shelf") circuit components, or available designs, would be of considerable value.
  • a circuit for correlating both the amplitude and phase of a received signal with a binary reference phase code, which can be implemented with already available hardware or hardware designs.
  • Each of a series of segments (each of limited duration) of the demodulated analog received signal is converted to a multi-bit data word.
  • Each data word defines both the amplitude and phase of the received signal.
  • Each bit of the same position, or significance, of each data word in a series of data words is delivered to a different one of a group of one-bit correlators.
  • Each correlator correlates the series of bits of a particular position, with the reference phase code.
  • the outputs of the correlators whose data bit positions represent the amplitude of the received signal, are multiplied by a whole number.
  • the least significant bit may be multiplied by one, and bits of higher significance are multiplied by progressively higher powers of two, as by left shifting the bits.
  • the multiplied outputs are added, and the sum represents the degree of correspondence of the data and reference codes when they are well matched.
  • One correlator can receive the MSB (most significant bit) of each data code, which can represent the phase of the received signal, and correlate it with the reference code.
  • the output of this correlator is left shited by a digit representing the significance of the MSB.
  • the product may be bit complemented, and the result added to the multiplied outputs of the other correlators.
  • An additional correction is made by adding a number dependent on the number representation that is chosen (e.g., two's complement or one's complement).
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram view of a transmit and receive system, with one example of transmitted and received codes being noted in the diagram.
  • FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a digital pulse compressor of the system of FIG. 1, noted in the diagram.
  • FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a general digital pulse compressor for a system using data words of any bit length.
  • FIG. 4 is a block diagram similar to that of FIG. 2, but using a one's complement representation.
  • FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a complete system.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a radar system 10 which transmits bursts of encoded signals at intervals from an antenna 16.
  • the encoded portions are encoded by an output of a phase code modulator 12.
  • the output of the phase code modulator 12 is a series of seven digits of the sequence: "1110010.” Each "0" can be represented as a "-1" instead.
  • the output of the phase code modulator 12 is delivered to a transmitter 14 to phase modulate a carrier wave. While the carrier wave may have a high frequency such as 1 gigahertz, the phase changes along the output (reference phase code 22) generated by the modulator 12 may have a repetition rate of 1 megahertz, and the reference code 22 of seven microsecond duration may be repeated once every millisecond.
  • the output of the transmitter 14 is delivered (as through a duplexer, not shown) to the antenna 16 which is aimed at a target.
  • the signal received by the antenna on line 18 may be an approximately 1 gigahertz signal that is phase and amplitude modulated.
  • the modulation of the received signal indicated at 20 is a very good, though not perfect, match for the transmitted signal as modulated by the reference phase code indicated as 22.
  • the received signal 20 passes through a receiver 24 which includes a demodulator and quadrature detector.
  • the output from the receiver 24, on line 26, is a demodulated and quadrature detected received signal indicated at 28.
  • This signal passes through an analog-to-digital converter 30 whose output line 32 contains data words representing the demodulated received signal 28.
  • the transmitted and received signals are divided into seven segments (each of about one microsecond duration) which each have a phase and amplitude.
  • the output of the converter 30 is a sequence of seven data words indicated at 34, each word defining in two's complement arithmetic, the phase and amplitude of the signal during a particular time period or segment, there being seven words that each defines the characteristics of one segment of the received signal 20.
  • the output from the converter 30 can be passed through a filter (not shown) to filter out clutter and the like, and is then delivered to a digital pulse compressor 36.
  • the digital pulse compressor 36 receives the output of the phase code modulator 12, which is the binary reference phase code shown at 22.
  • the compressor 36 compares the reference code 22 to the series of multi-bit data words 34 to determine the degree of correlation of each bit of the reference code 22 to each word of the series of data words 34.
  • the output of the compressor 36 is delivered to a plurality of other processing apparatus 38, which may include an envelope detector, a threshold detecting circuit, a tracker and a display, or other circuitry.
  • the output of the compressor on line 39 is a digital number, for each received signal, which represents the degree of correlation of the received signal 20 with the reference code 22.
  • the amplitude of the demodulated signal 28 depends upon the amplitude of the corresponding segment of the received signal 20.
  • the segments are labeled 41-47.
  • the next to last segment 46 has the lowest amplitude of all segments, while the segments 44, 45, and 47, have the greatest amplitude.
  • the phase of the received signal 20 remains constant up to the point 48, when it undergoes a 180° phase change. Accordingly, segments 44 and 45 remain at a 180° phase difference from the preceding portion of the carrier wave, and are shown as having a negative value in the demodulated signal 28.
  • segment 46 in a demodulated signal 28 is shown as positive.
  • the data code words 34 from the output of the analog to digital converter 30 are three-bit words in the example, and therefore can represent eight different levels.
  • applicant has used two's complement arithmetic to assign three different positive amplitudes, four different negative amplitudes, and a zero amplitude. It is also possible to use one's complement arithmetic, which is symmetric about zero but defines only seven levels.
  • the following table shows the equivalent for each of the eight possible 3-bit words and a decimal equivalent, for two's complement and one's complement arithmetic:
  • Applicant is able to use prior art single bit correlators and other off-the-shelf items to perform soft-limited digital pulse compression, or use known one bit correlator designs for the correlators in a single chip multi-bit correlator which may be part of an integrated pulse compressor circuit.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a soft-limited digital pulse compressor 36, which can correlate each of a series of multi-bit data words with the series of digits of a binary reference phase code.
  • This example uses two's complement arithmetic.
  • applicant uses three correlators 50, 52 and 54.
  • Each correlator has two inputs, including a data bit input 56 which receives one bit of each data word, and a reference code input 58 which receives the bits of the reference code 22, there being seven of such bits in this example.
  • the first correlator 50 receives the seven LSBs (least significant bits) 60 of the seven data words 34, at its data bit input 56.
  • Correlator 50 receives the seven bits of the reference code 22 on its reference code input 58.
  • the second correlator 52 receives the second from LSBs 62 on its data bit input 56 and receives the reference code on its reference code input 58.
  • the third correlator 54 has a data bit input 56 which receives the MSBs 66 on its data bit input 56, and the reference code 22 on its reference code input 58. Since the first two correlators 50, 52 receive bits representing amplitude, these correlators can be considered to be amplitude correlators, while correlator 54 can be considered to be a phase correlator.
  • Each correlator generates a number S 0 , S 1 , or S 2 on its output 70, 72, or 74 which indicates the number of matches.
  • the match between the second from LSBs 62 and the reference code 22 is a perfect match, so the output is a maximum, which is seven.
  • the output is one less than the maximum, and is therefore six.
  • correlator 54 there is zero matching, and therefore the output on line 74 is zero. Since these outputs will (after processing of the output of phase-indicating correlator 54) be added, each correlator output is multiplied by a digit corresponding to its significance or position.
  • the output 70 of the LSB correlator 50 may be said to be multiplied by one, and its output is delivered to an adder 80. Since the output on line 70 is “six" in decimal form, it is "000110" in the most common binary code.
  • the output of the second correlator 52 is multiplied by two by a transform means or circuit 82. Actually, the "circuit" 82 does not require any hardware, as a shift is accomplished by connecting each of six outputs from correlator 52 to a next higher position. Since the output from the correlator 52 is in binary form, the multiplication is performed by shifting the level of all bits to the left by one (with the rightmost bit being zero).
  • the decimal output of "seven" from the correlator 52 is multiplied by two so it equals “fourteen” in decimal base, and equals "001110" in two's complement base.
  • the output of the last correlator 54 is delivered to a transform means 85 which includes a "circuit” 84 which multiplies the output by four by shifting the position of all digits to the left by two spaces. Since the output of the correlator 54 is zero, the output of the "circuit” 84 is zero. Because the analog-to-digital converter 30 in this example uses two's complement arithmetic, the transform means 85 also includes a bit complement circuit 86.
  • the output of the most significant bit multiplier 84 passes through the bit complement circuit 86 (which is merely a group of inverters) which generates the complement of the product from circuit 84.
  • the output of the circuit 86 is delivered to the adder 80.
  • a correction term Z from a correction circuit 87 is added to the adder, with Z in this example (which uses two's complement arithmetic) equaling the number of zeroes (or -1's) in the reference code 22 plus one.
  • the reference code has three zeroes, so Z equals 4.
  • the adder 80 in this example adds the four quantities inputted to it, and yields an output equal to "010111” in binary form, which is "23" in decimal form. (The output is the same in one's complement as two's complement for positive numbers.) This sum is equal to each amplitude in the demodulated detected signal 28 (FIG. 1) times a corresponding bit in the reference phase code 22 (except that each "0" in the reference code must be changed to a "-1" so the reference code is "111-1-11-1") as follows:
  • the pulse compressor output does equal the sum of the level of each received segment 41-47 times a corresponding bit of the reference code.
  • the circuit of FIG. 2 can be constructed by using three commonly available single bit correlators, such as TRW 64 bit digital output correlator, Model TDC1023J (which has a capacity of 64 bits) or equivalent.
  • the multiplier or shift left circuits 82 and 84 do not require hardware.
  • the bit complement circuit 86 comprises a group of inverters.
  • the summing network or adder 80 can be a Texas Instruments adder Model 54S283 or equivalent.
  • a soft-limited pulse compressor can be constructed using available (binary) equipment, to avoid the necessity of trying to design and build an integrated cicuit which correlates a series of multi-bit words with a single bit reference code 22.
  • an integrated circuit can be constructed, using known designs for one-bit correlators (and known designs for the other circuits).
  • Applicant has derived the above-described circuit by considering the fact that the basic digital pulse compressor 36 output Y, may be defined as: ##EQU1## where N equals the length of the reference code, C n is the nth bit (equal to 1 or -1) in the reference code C, and X n equals the nth word of the input data sequence to be correlated.
  • N equals the length of the reference code
  • C n is the nth bit (equal to 1 or -1) in the reference code C
  • X n equals the nth word of the input data sequence to be correlated.
  • the correction term Z equals the number of "-1's" in the phase code of length N plus one.
  • the * implies one's complement.
  • Equation 3 suggests the hardware implementation shown in the example in FIG. 2 for the digital pulse compressor 36.
  • the output of the least significant bit correlator 50 in FIG. 2 is the term S 0 which is multiplied by 2 0 (which, of course, equals one).
  • the output of the second from the least significant bit correlator 52 is the term S 1 multiplied by 2 1 .
  • the correction term Z (the number of -1's plus one for two's complement, or the output of correlators 54 for one's complement) is added.
  • the length of the reference code 22 and the length of the received signal 20 can be varied, and typically includes about sixty-three bits for the reference code 22 and an equal number of multi-bit data words 34, in radar applications. Detection of the amplitude of each segment of the received signal 20, can be made not only along eight binary levels as shown in the example of FIG. 2, but can be made for a large number of additional levels. An additional bit is required every time the number of levels is multiplied by two, so that a four-bit data word would be required to discriminate between sixteen different phase-and-amplitude levels.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a generalized system for soft-limited pulse compression of a received and demodulated series of multi-bit data code words, where each word has a number k of bits. A corresponding number k of correlators is used, one for each bit position or significance in the data word.
  • FIG. 3 shows four of such correlators 91-94. It is noted that, because of the progressively higher shifts (multiplications) for the more significant bits, all operations following the shifts at 100-104 require that the arithmetic operation be performed using binary words with a greater number of digits L (in FIG. 2, L equals 6 in that the output of circuit 86 is a 6-bit word).
  • correction term Z equals the number of "-1's" in the reference code plus one, for two's complement representation, and equals the output of correlator 94 for one's complement representation.
  • the output Y from the summing network 106 is a pulse compression output in one's or two's complement representation, depending on the representation of the data words.
  • FIG. 4 shows a system similar to that of FIG. 2 for the same reference code 22 and the same demodulated received signal 28 of FIG. 1, but with the pulse compression implemented with one's complement arithmetic.
  • the maximum values of segments 44, 45 and 47 are -3, instead of the level of -4 obtained in two's complement.
  • the correction circuit 110 merely delivers the output of correlator 54 to the adder 80.
  • FIG. 5 shows a system 114 which uses two identical phase compressors 36, 36' of the type shown in FIG. 2, one for inphase data and the other for quadrature data, and with the outputs of the two pulse compressors 36, 36' combined in an envelope detector 116.
  • Applicant has built a two channel, 3-bit word, 255-bit code pulse compressor system. Four correlators, each with a 64-bit capacity (to essentially form a 256-bit correlator), were used for each bit of the data, with a total of twelve correlators for each channel (for each pulse compressor).
  • the invention provides an apparatus and method for correlating a reference code 22 with a detected received signal 20, with correlation not only of the phases but also of the relative amplitudes of the received signal 20 with the reference code 22. This is accomplished by processing each digit of a multi-digit word 34, which represents both the amplitude and phase of each segment of the received signal 20, with the reference code 22.
  • Single bit correlators 50, 52, 54 can be used which are off-the-shelf components that are readily available.
  • a set of two or more correlators can be used for each data word bit, where the length of the reference code 22 exceeds the capacity (e.g., 64 bits) of an available correlator.
  • each correlator 50, 52, 54 is shifted (for multiplication) by a digit which equals the significance or position of the digit correlated by that correlator 50, 52, 54, with the output of the least significant digit not shifted.
  • the output of the MSB correlator 54 which can represent the correlation of the phase of the received signal 20 with the reference code 22, is bit complemented 86 before delivery to a summing network 80.
  • a correction factor 110, 87 dependent upon the number representation chosen (ones's complement or two's complement) is also added to the summing network 80.
  • the sum generated by the summing network 80 is a number representing the degree of correlation between the reference code 22 and the received signal 20.
